I met Dennis in 1982 at Townsville airport and then in Cairns. The band met my two young daughters. It was great seeing them and their music has never stopped being listened to. Dennis is still singing brilliantly.

HAHAHA<br />They lost a lot of respect from the record collecting buyers and now anytime I even bring up their name, someone says "Stay away. They release fakes"<br /><br />Also I heard for one of their re-releases, the proper people weren't getting paid. So yeah, done with this label. They obviously used the same people to record their Russian and Porno Groove records yet to this day they still claim they're authentic. Either they're idiots or just can't respect people intelligence.

I woke quite early this morning after having dreamt of past years just before I left the army in 1976. Has with all dreams, I was still confused with why I had "Those Were The Days" going round and round in my head. I went outside for a smoke and it came back to me that I had met Mary briefly when I went into a Welsh village shop one morning to buy a packet of cigarettes . I was out on radio test operations in the area at that time and had driven down off the side of the mountain to the nearest place. I was very surprised to see Mary there as I entered the shop and as I remember I said something like "Mary Hopkin I presume". I think I would have felt a fool if it had not been her,but being a fan even though that was the first time I had the pleasure to meet face to face I recognised Mary straight away with that beautiful smiling face. Ho was I full of it when I got back up to my radio detachment. Boasting, I've just met Mary Hopkin. The lads did not believe me at first.<br />That is one memory that will go to the grave with me. I am so glad that I decided to Google "Mary Hopkin" and found this Website.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270822931930412998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5584825739347499486.post-43493590666823933122014-04-15T12:05:12.184-05:002014-04-15T12:05:12.184-05:00I was a big Willie and the Bumblebees fan myself -...I was a big Willie and the Bumblebees fan myself - here's a link to them doing Honey From The Bee - http://youtu.be/rSmWLtAwYRA.
